Poor girl is still under the weather.  We took her into the doctor today because of her illness and a few other issues.  It was wonderful getting all of them addressed at once.  Our doctor has offices on both sides of town.  The one we usually go to was booked solid, so we drove across town to the east office and met with a PA.  Olivia, as you know, is terrified of the doctor.  I can’t think of a doctor visit yet where she hasn’t shed a few tears.  Anyway, she LOVED this PA.  The two of them just clicked with not one tear shed.  At the end, the PA asked Olivia to give her five.  Olivia did and then she went over and hugged her.  Heck, I wanted to hug her too for making it such a pleasant experience for Olivia.  I think this PA is only at the east office, so it looks like I’ll be driving across town for every doctor visit now.  It would totally be worth it if it would lessen Olivia’s anxiety.  Now, the two of us just have to get rid of these colds. . .
